Undead Darlings ~no cure for love~ Kickstarter Announced

June 29, 2015Written by Cameron Teague

Today, Mr. Tired Media has lifted the curtain on Undead Darlings ~no cure for love~. This game is slated to release first on PC and then make its way to the PlayStation 4 and hopefully PS Vita, but that all depends on what happens with the Kickstarter campaign that goes live right now.

Mr. Tired Media is founded by former PR people at NIS America and Idea Factory, so you should know the type of game it will be. Just in case though, here are some great screenshots, a YouTube video, and an exclusive reveal only here at PlayStation LifeStyle.

OK, here is the backdrop per the press release.

Have you had enough ham-fisted, symbolic tales about how humans are the true monsters in a world ravaged by the undead? Enter Undead Darlings ~no cure for love~, a hybrid visual novel dungeon crawling RPG that is primed to shatter the entire zombie apocalypse genre by turning that premise upside-down and inside-out!

Undead Darlings ~no cure for love~ tells the tale of Reginald “Reggie” Happenstahnce, who just so happens to be the son of the scientist who created the cure for the zombie plague. And as his luck would have it, he is told all this by a wild cast of girls who didn’t quite finish turning into brainless zombies. Their bodies may be dead, but their hearts are still human. They want him to succeed in his quest to deliver the cure somewhere it can be mass-produced and dosed out properly, so they will venture into dangerous territory in an effort to protect him from getting infected–under the condition that he act as their loot donkey and carry all their things.

Ogre through post-apocalyptic dungeons and fight in the most-revered classic JRPG style of turn-based combat in this romantic horror-comedy. Learn more about the undead girls traveling with Reggie based on choices made during the visual novel-style segments. Perhaps one of them will grow close enough to him for romantic feelings to develop, and they may even place enough trust in him to volunteer to be the first test subject for his father’s cure!

Check out the trailer and screenshots below.

Here is also our exclusive screenshot for the DLC character Tsukarechan, who is Mr. Tired’s lovable daughter and is always late everywhere she goes. This character will be added to the game as a free DLC character if the Kickstarter stretch goal is met.

From what I heard and saw at E3 this year, this is truly a labor of love for these two working on the game and it really did sound interesting. The characters were somewhat unexpected from an Undead game and the gameplay sounds fun.
